4. Radiation Therapy: Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to target and kill cancer cells in tumor areas. It is often used to improve conditions in advanced stages of bone tumors but is only suitable for patients with soft tissue sarcomas or malignant lymphomas.
5. Targeted Therapy: Targeted therapy involves drugs or treatment methods designed to target specific gene defects based on clearly identified biological mechanisms. Common drugs include epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors like gefitinib and erlotinib, as well as monoclonal antibodies like cetuximab, imatinib, and sunitinib. These medications can effectively prolong survival and improve quality of life.
